1. Overview

NatureSpy is seeking field contributors across North America to help us showcase the region’s incredible biodiversity. Selected participants will receive a free trail camera in exchange for providing example footage of wildlife captured with the camera. We’re not looking for influencers or big follower counts - just people who love wildlife, have access to a good spot, and are as excited to see what their camera captures as we are.
